    秉承家传，自幼酷爱绘画。早在中学时代，仿佛在1955年曾目睹过达芬奇一专题影片，心灵为之一震，它像一颗种子深深地埋在我的心田，自那以后，暗下决心，励志终生为祖国的美术事业奋斗。1964年毕业于上海戏剧学院舞台美术系。尔后被特招到空军政治部文工团话剧团工作，直至退休。近六十年来，在从事舞台美术创作的同时，长期潜心风景油画和书法的学习与创作，也许那粒种子的作用，促使我经年累月乐此不彼，栉风沐雨，砥砺奋进，博采众长，不拘一格，心随意转，一路走来，不知老之将至，直至当下。

    Ruan Qingxiang is a contemporary oil painter and skilled in calligraphy. He is a retired civilian officer at the level of pision in the Drama Troupe of the Political Department of the Air Force. He was born in 1940 in Feicheng, Shandong and currently resides in Beijing.

    Inheriting a family tradition, I have a passion for painting since childhood. As early as my high school years, I felt as if I had witnessed a special film by Leonardo da Vinci in 1955, and my heart was lifted up. It was deeply buried in my heart like a seed. Since then, I have made up my mind to strive for the art cause of my country for the rest of my life. Graduated from the Department of Stage Art at Shanghai Academy of Drama in 1964. Afterwards, he was specially recruited to work in the Drama Troupe of the Political Department of the Air Force until retirement. For the past 60 years, while engaged in stage art creation, I have been devoted to the study and creation of landscape oil painting and calligraphy for a long time. Perhaps the role of that seed has prompted me to enjoy this and not do it over the years. Through the wind and rain, I have worked hard, learned from the strengths of others, and am not limited to one style. My heart freely changes, and I have walked the way, not knowing that I will be old, until now.

    In 1977, the stage art creation was awarded the Military Dance Beauty Award, and in 1979, the dance beauty creation was awarded the Second Prize in Art by the Ministry of Culture of the Air Force; Received the Excellent Award in the National Family Planning Commission Propaganda Competition in 2004; In 2008, a personal oil painting album was published and distributed nationwide; Since 2010, I have been invited multiple times to participate in various national themed calligraphy and painting competitions, and have won gold medals more than 20 times in a row. And has successively won titles such as "The Most Influential Artist of the Global Chinese in the 21st Century", "International Peace Award" Artist "," Honor China - Lifetime Achievement Award of Chinese Art "," Top Ten Outstanding Artists Commemorating the 65th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China ", and" The Most Valuable Calligrapher and Painter of Contemporary China ". Since last year, he has won awards such as the "Blue and White Award" and the "International Art Star Award". Many of his oil paintings and calligraphy works have been collected by groups and inpiduals in the United States, Southeast Asia, and China. He is currently a senior director of Jin Shangyi Studio.

内外兼修的艺术探索——记著名画家阮庆祥

    中国书画艺术品质与创作者的修养是相辅相成的关系，画如其人，画家的人生经历和历练，会对画质产生明显的影响。阮庆祥先生在部队生活许多年，正师级退休，这一段饱满而精彩的人生经历，体现在他油画的创作结果中，可以看到让人大振心颜的精气神。比如油画作品《金秋长城》系列作品，以苍劲激荡的空间结构，把军人心怀家国精神的动能表现得相当突出。在这样的作品面前仰观，足以体察得到“祖国万岁，神州虬龙”的伟岸。如果没有军旅人生历练，绝无法把万里长城画成这巍仪万古的精神图腾！

    阮庆祥的油画，非常关注专业技法的磨砺。时下，有的油画艺术创作，偏离的现实主义、远趋了古典技法，结果越来越多的作品受到类“野兽派”的影响，在画布上无所目的地涂抹。画出来的结果，画家自己说不明白，观众对此看不明白，让油画创作不断远离大众审美的视野。反观阮庆祥先生的油画作品，无论是画民居还是画风景，抑或是画静物，都有着很深厚的古典主义技法力量，并且拥有现实主义的唯美效果。比如他画的《难忘故土》这件作品，就用专业的技法去表现悠悠的乡愁，他把十三四岁时的家乡记忆，复作于丹青之间，技法与主旨进行了相当完美的结合，画出来的乡韵空间就能够触动人们的心怀，可以籍此遥想曾经的家乡。

他的风景作品，是对自然的感怀，也是个人内心追求的镜像。梵高说没有传大的油画作品，只有艺术家对自然的认识反馈会成为油画不朽的理由。如果油画仅仅是技法的塑造，没有心田与自然的交流际会，创作出来的油画作品就会充满呆板的匠气，难以成为油画审美的夏鼎商彝。见到阮庆祥画的《似水年华》这件作品，就是在油画里反馈个人行走自然觉悟的经典，秋日红叶山泉，深林空新静谧，一切景观元素，都是出于自然，成于心田的撷取与陶冶，虽有波折与不平，但是终归清澈且不争。他用油画的方式把中国审美的诗词意像写带出来，可以反复品味，经久耐读。这是一位真正拥有油画专业技法，完全理解中国文化的油画画家，中国意象中国风！面朝大海，波澜壮阔，他把人物置画于金沙滩，让人物与广阔的天地空间对话，这是独与天地精神往来的油画印象，代表着油画创作注入了哲学内涵，成为天人合一的代表作，同样充满了中国的文化意识和中国的文化精神！这些独一无二的油画作品，因为专业精湛，人文丰富，当然是审美的琼花玉蕊，也是收藏的和璧隋珠，艺术价值与升值潜力不可多得，贵似夏鼎商彝。

    内外兼修的艺术探索。荷花、长城、林海、云村，一一成为他油画里的诗篇！他用油画为天地立心，为文化续缘。又带着情真意切的人文心境，把现实主义作品带入浪漫的情怀，以借喻与寄寓的方式画下《妈妈回来吧》去呼唤母爱，营造温暖。这是一个无奈的背影，但是当画家把关爱的视线投向这个背影的时候，我们会感受到画家在努力为这个社会、这个时代经营着无限温暖的情怀，这是他的价值观所决定的，也是他内外兼修的品质所导向的结果。经由这种导向，在未来的艺术创作路径上，阮庆祥先生定能不忘初心，用画画的方式为文化主流奉献更多的优质作品。

Exploring the Art of Combining Internal and External Cultivation - On the Famous Painter Ruan Qingxiang

    The quality of Chinese calligraphy and painting art and the cultivation of creators are mutually reinforcing. Painting, like a person, the painter's life experience and experience will have a significant impact on the quality of the painting. Mr. Ruan Qingxiang lived in the military for many years and retired at the pision level. This rich and exciting life experience is reflected in the results of his oil painting creation, which can see the spirit and spirit that greatly lift people's hearts and minds. For example, the oil painting series "The Great Wall of Autumn" showcases the dynamic energy of soldiers' patriotism through their vigorous and turbulent spatial structure. Looking up in front of such works, one can fully appreciate the majesty of "Long live the motherland, the dragon of China". If there is no military life experience, the Great Wall cannot be painted as this magnificent and eternal spiritual totem!

    Ruan Qingxiang's oil paintings pay great attention to the refinement of professional techniques. At present, some oil painting art creations deviate from realism and tend towards classical techniques, resulting in more and more works being influenced by the "Beast School" and aimlessly smeared on the canvas. The result of the painting, which the painter himself cannot explain and the audience cannot understand, keeps oil painting creation constantly away from the public's aesthetic perspective. On the other hand, Mr. Ruan Qingxiang's oil paintings, whether depicting dwellings, landscapes, or still life, have a profound classical technical power and possess a realistic aesthetic effect. For example, in his work "Unforgettable Homeland", he uses professional techniques to express the lingering homesickness. He recreates the memories of his hometown at the age of thirteen or fourteen in the painting, and the techniques and themes are perfectly combined. The rural charm space created can touch people's hearts and can be used to reminisce about his former hometown.

    His landscape works are reflections on nature and a reflection of personal inner pursuits. Van Gogh said that there are no great oil paintings, only artists' feedback on nature will become the reason for the immortality of oil paintings. If oil painting is only the shaping of techniques and there is no communication between the heart and nature, the created oil painting works will be full of rigid craftsmanship, making it difficult to become the Xia Ding Shangyi of oil painting aesthetics. Seeing Ruan Qingxiang's painting "Time Like Water" is a classic reflection of one's natural consciousness in oil painting. In autumn, the red leaf mountain spring, deep forest and fresh tranquility, all landscape elements are derived from nature and shaped by the heart. Although there are twists and turns, they are ultimately clear and undisputed. He uses oil painting to bring out the poetic imagery of Chinese aesthetics, which can be repeatedly tasted and read for a long time. This is an oil painting artist who truly possesses professional oil painting techniques and fully understands Chinese culture. Chinese imagery and Chinese style! Facing the sea, with magnificent waves, he painted the characters on the golden beach, allowing them to have a dialogue with the vast space of heaven and earth. This is the impression of oil painting that only interacts with the spirit of heaven and earth, representing the injection of philosophical connotations into oil painting creation, becoming a representative work of the unity of heaven and man, and also full of Chinese cultural consciousness and spirit! These unique oil paintings, due to their exquisite professionalism and rich humanities, are of course the aesthetic gemstones of Qionghua and Yurui, as well as the collection of Hebi Suizhu. Their artistic value and appreciation potential are rare, and they are as precious as Xia Ding Shang Yi.

An artistic exploration that combines internal and external cultivation. Lotus, the Great Wall, Lin Hai, and Yun Cun have all become poems in his oil paintings! He used oil painting to establish his heart for heaven and earth, and to promote cultural continuity. With a sincere humanistic mood, realistic works are brought into a romantic atmosphere, and "Mom Come Back" is drawn in a metaphorical and metaphorical way to call for maternal love and create warmth. This is a helpless silhouette, but when the painter casts his caring gaze towards it, we will feel that the painter is striving to operate an infinite warmth for this society and era. This is determined by his values and is also the result of his quality of both internal and external cultivation. Through this guidance, in the future path of artistic creation, Mr. Ruan Qingxiang will never forget his original intention and dedicate more high-quality works to the cultural mainstream through painting.
